okay, BadSherry, ya got me hitting the bottle~well~sort of my stamp pads. I do thank you, it was definitely a challenge to leave the Copics capped!!!
I love Calla lillies and they are just beginning to bloom where I live. I used the stamp from Ageless Adornment and a reverse stamp. I inked my flowers with pond green (Heritage Marvy) onto GP white cs. I used a combination of Adirondack Salmon and Ancient Page Flamingo which I swabbed using a Q-tip. I did color the style with a Copic. I stamped addition leaves to fill my bouquet. They are all cut and popped on foam. My vase was cut from an oval punch (a case of NancyRuth, thanks for the great idea!!!) which I crackled, Judikins bg (TH di tattered rose) and then stamped my sentiment from Inkadinkadoo. It is embossed in clear after inking with TH di tea dye. I used a satin ribbon tied in a half knot. My card base is from MME wild asparagus. I used my neighbors' new Fiskar threading water punch, which she scored at our local Michaels. DONT THINK THEY'RE HAD THEM BACK IN STOCK SINCE!!! I placed a strip of white cs under the holes to add a bit of brightness there. This is really a fabulous punch and if you are lucky enough to come across it, GRAB IT!
Thanks so much for having a look and please leave a comment, I always enjoy reading them!!!

Susan, this is gorgeous! The lilies are stunning in their coloring and texture! I love the paper you chose to pair with it - it's perfect! Lovely punched border, too!
